Chicago Sun-Times reporters were recognized this weekend in a national reporting contest for coverage that raised questions about the appointment of Roland Burris to the U.S. Senate.

What's amusing: The Capitol Beat Association said there was so much quality coverage of the Blagojevich investigation and subsequent impeachment, it gave out special mentions to the Chicago Tribune, Associated Press and the Sun-Times -- all for coverage of the former governor.

So essentially, Blago is a category unto himself.
